Jeffers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports. Jeffers is 3-for-7 with a double, a walk, two RBI and three runs in his last two contests but will take a seat for the second time in Minnesota's past three games. Gary Sanchez will work behind the plate while Kyle Garlick serves as the designated hitter.

Jeffers will sit Friday against the Royals, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Jeffers is the clear number one option behind the plate in Minnesota this season, starting 23 games compared to 15 for Gary Sanchez. When you factor in the pair's starts at the designated hitter spot, though, Sanchez now has the edge in total games in the lineup, getting the nod 28 times to Jeffers' 27 after his inclusion as Friday's starting catcher.

Jeffers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics. Jeffers will take a seat after he started in five of the Twins' last six games, with four of those assignments coming at catcher. Gary Sanchez will replace Jeffers behind the plate Monday, while Kyle Garlick handles Sanchez's usual designated hitter duties.

Jeffers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics. With the Twins and Athletics wrapping up their series with a day game, Jeffers will be getting a breather after he was behind the dish for Saturday's 1-0 win. Gary Sanchez will spell Jeffers at catcher, working in a battery with starting pitcher Chris Paddack.

Jeffers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles. Jeffers started the past two days behind the dish, so he'll be getting some routine maintenance Wednesday while Gary Sanchez picks up a start at catcher. Thanks to the injuries to Miguel Sano (knee), Alex Kirilloff (wrist) and Kyle Garlick (calf), the Twins have been able to find more opportunities to keep Jeffers and Sanchez in the lineup simultaneously, with Sanchez often picking up starts as the designated hitter.
